When Ground-Mounted Solar Isn’t Ideal

For properties with smaller rooftops, ground-mounted systems offer many more options. But they’re not perfect in all situations. Below are a few reasons why you may want to avoid ground-mounted PV systems:

Less land—when setting up solar panels in your yard, you lose some recreational space. Ground-mounted installations may require putting off that pool project for a while.

Aesthetics—this is largely subjective. Some customers think ground-mounted PV systems are unsightly. Others view them as green badges of honor.

Time—ground-mounted installations require underground wiring and additional digging to stabilize the panels. This trenching adds both time and money to the installation process.

So Which Solar Installation Type Is Best for You?

From our experience, there is no single “best.” Both of these solutions have important benefits, and the “optimal” arrangement ultimately depends on personal preference and property type.
